DESCRIPTION:

Medical Communications for Combat Casualty Care (MC4) is a ruggedized system of systems containing medical software packages fielded to operational medical forces worldwide. The system is comprised of joint software, commercial and government off-the-shelf products including Theater Medical Information Program – Joint (TMIP-J) applications provided by Defense Health Clinical Systems. MC4 provides the tools needed to digitally record and transfer critical medical data from the foxhole to medical treatment facilities around the world. With more than a decade of experience managing the Army’s deployable medical recording system, MC4 remains the most widely used, comprehensive information management medical system on the battlefield.

Initiate planning for new commercial off-the-shelf software to modernize the Joint Service Electronic Health Record System to incrementally replace TMIP-J beginning in FY18; TMIP-J will remain operational until the new system attains full deployment
